Entries should be a three- to five-minute video of any style including poetry, literature, or a monologue from theater, film or television. Pieces do not need to be memorized.

Your email should include a short introduction containing your name and any information about yourself you care to share.

Technicians: Simply email with the subject "Podcast Technician" to wortheyj@tncc.edu and tell us about yourself, your interest in being a part of the troupe, and any experience you have with audio or editing software.
